<< Back to Ingredients TERRA MEDI OLIVES
Olives from the Mediterranean are among the best in the world - for antipasti and salads, for braising in sauces with fresh herbs, for nibbling on as a satisfying snack. Often difficult to find really good olives with a fresh taste, most jarred olives taste like they’ve been sitting on the grocery-store shelf for years, and forget the tinny-flavored canned olives. It’s changing - Apostolos Paralikas and his Terra Medi company makes great olive products, olive blends, olive pastes, low acidity cold-pressed olive oils, all from Greece.

Delicious are their Mixed Olives with Rosemary, Fennel and Orange, Oven Baked Kalamata and Thassos rare olives. Crafted with the finest ingredients, Terra Medi olives have no artificial colors or preservatives, and even the common citric acid is replaced by natural acids of lemon juice and wine vinegar. Plump, juicy olives - bring a little Mediterranean sunshine to your table.

Remember the men with street carts in Greece selling breads covered with sesame seeds, and how good that bread tasted? Maybe it was just the Mediterranean sunshine, but sesame never tasted so good. Try Terra Medi’s extra-virgin cold-pressed sesame oil - Wow!
